Re: Jeff Bezos in Space

http://www.msnbc.com/news/904842.asp?0cv=KA01&cp1=1

Jeff Bezos, of Amazon.com fame, is going into the private human spaceflight industry - backed by his $1.7 billion fortune. Along with Burt Rutan and John Carmack, all three have significant sources of private funds behind them, no shareholders to account to, limitless ambitious and a great deal of skill.

I think we're in for some interesting times...

Fixed posting that had old command structure for color......

Re: Jeff Bezos in Space

Gee Polamar such an old topic with little followup on the hows how but I am sure that a search on a name will find many newer topics to which Blue Horizon is pusing sub orbital flights amd hopefully Bezos investment in making the replacement for Atlas V will making a bit of competition for Space X....and of course continue to shame Nasa....
